The Generator - Premium Technologies is a portable gasoline generator. It makes electricity after the power grid shuts down. It keeps the electronics of a safehouse running.
It is widely seen as the best generator in the game. It wears out more slowly than any other brand and runs fairly quietly. Its cost is that it is rarer than the others and just as heavy.
The generator stands in the world rather than in containers. It turns up mostly at building sites rather than in garages or industrial buildings. The Electrician is the best occupation for electronics. It starts with the most Electrical skill. The Engineer also starts with some Electrical skill.
Using
A generator is set down near a building and then connected. Connecting it takes some Electrical knowledge. Level 3 in Electrical, the Electrician occupation or the How to Use Generators magazine all qualify. Once running, it powers the electronics within about twenty tiles.
The generator runs on gasoline. A steady supply of fuel keeps the power on. Its use is the same as any other generator.
Its noise reaches about twenty tiles while it runs. That matches the Lectromax. The Old generator carries about twenty-five tiles and the ValuTech about twenty-three. Zombies within that range hear it and come to look.
Upkeep
The generator starts at full condition and loses some with use. Each wear check has about a one in thirty-six chance to take a point of condition. The Lectromax wears at one in thirty and the Old at one in twenty-five. That makes this the longest lasting model.
It must stay outside. The in-game tooltip says to never run it indoors.
Locations
Generators stand in the world rather than spawning in containers. The Premium Technologies model is rarer than the others. It is usually found at building sites. Garages and industrial buildings are less likely to hold one.
Notes
- The in-game tooltip says to place it near the safehouse, connect it, and never run it indoors.
- Building sites are the place to search for this model.
- Its slow wear makes it the best choice for a permanent base.
- It needs both hands to carry, so a vehicle helps a great deal.
